Close all application using c#
-
Hello SeMartens, I'm not talking about adding something to the process list, but to an instance of the
List
class. Like the following code:
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<Process> list = new List<Process>();
string input="";Console.WriteLine("Enter path to a program to start it."); while (true) { input = Console.ReadLine(); if (input == "exit") break; try { list.Add(Process.Start(input)); } catch { Console.WriteLine("Failed to start " + input); } } foreach (Process process in list) { if (!process.HasExited) process.Kill(); } } }}
ok.. see am giving like this.. System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo psi = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(@"Notepad"); System.Diagnostics.Process listFiles; listFiles = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi); listFiles.Kill(); here what is happening is it is opening a new notepad and closing that but i need to close the application which is already opened... ex:- i have opend 3 browsers and 1 notepad already opened in my system...now am running my application.now if i close my application these 3 browser and 1 notepad also should get closed... thats what am asking how can i add these already opened things in to my list?

Hi, first you could use
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses();
to enumerate all running processes. But closing them could be difficult because you have to distinguish between system processes and application processes. A better way is to get all top-level applications (like the task-manager) and close them. Have a look at this link http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t369213.html[^]. Regards Sebastian
It's not a bug, it's a feature! Check out my CodeProject article Permission-by-aspect. Me in Softwareland.

Use Process.GetProcessByName(). Or If you want to play it more safely, use Process.GetProcessById() method. To obtain the PIDs for the processes you want to end, get a list of all the processes running on your system using Process.GetProcesses(). Then manually traverse the list and find the PID of the processes you want to end, and then end them from there. [Edit]Have a look at the process class and find out what it can do.[^][/Edit] BTW, please answer this time, what are you building, and do you work for some company?
Excuse me for buttin' in, but I'm interrupt driven.

Now its working fine....:-) now everything is getting closed..but am getting the shutdown window also after giving this code Process[] processlist = Process.GetProcesses("Avinash"); foreach (Process theprocess in processlist) { theprocess.CloseMainWindow(); } i dont want to get that shutdown window...?

Hi Sandhya, The reason you're getting that shutdown window is that the GetProcesses method gets a list of all running processes on the local computer or the machine name specified as an argument, and this list includes explorer as well. So when you call CloseMainWindow(), the close signal is being sent to all running programs including explorer as well. You should do like given below:
Process[] processlist = Process.GetProcessesByName("Notepad");
foreach (Process theprocess in processlist)
{
theprocess.CloseMainWindow();
}All the best

In this case only notepad had got closed and rest others are there only..:-( (Explorer,MyComputer.,etc...)
Do you have a yahoo id. If yes, send me an Add Request at ankit_incredible_2006. The problem can be solved more quickly if we have a realtime comm. link.

All right, try like this
void CloseApplications(void)
{
string explorerPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Environment.SystemDirectory);explorerPath = Path.Combine(explorerPath.ToLower(), "explorer.exe");Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach(Process process in processes)
{
try
{
if (process.MainModule.FileName.ToLower() != explorerPath)
process.CloseMainWindow();
}
catch
{
// Handle exceptions here.
}
}
